How to Share an Egg: A True Story of Hunger, Love, and Plenty
by Bonny ReichertA moving culinary memoir about the relationship between food and family—sustenance and survival—from a chef, award-winning journalist, and daughter of a Holocaust survivor.&“Beautifully written, heartbreaking and hopeful.&”—Ruth Reichl, New York Times bestselling author of The Paris NovelWhen you&’re raised by someone who once survived on potato peels and coffee grounds, you develop a pretty healthy respect for food.Bonny Reichert avoided everything to do with the Holocaust until she found herself, in midlife, suddenly typing those words into an article she was writing. The journalist had grown up hearing stories about her father&’s near-starvation and ultimate survival in Auschwitz-Birkenau, but she never imagined she would be able to face this epic legacy head-on. Then a chance encounter with a perfect bowl of borscht in Warsaw set Bonny on a journey to unearth her culinary lineage, and she began to dig for the roots of her food obsession, dish by dish. Stepping into the kitchen to connect her past with her future, the author recounts the defining moments of her life in a poignant tale of scarcity and plenty: her colorful childhood in the restaurant business, the crumbling of her first marriage and the intensity of young motherhood, her decision to become a chef, and that life-altering visit to Poland. Whether it&’s the flaky potato knishes and molasses porridge bread she learned to bake at her baba Sarah&’s elbow, the creamy vichyssoise she taught herself to cook in her tiny student apartment, or the brown butter eggs her father, now 93, still scrambles for her whenever she needs comfort, cuisine is both an anchor and an identity; a source of joy and a signifier of survival. How to Share an Egg is a journey of deep flavors and surprising contrasts. By turns sweet, salty, sour, and bitter, this is one woman&’s search to find her voice as a writer, chef, mother, and daughter. Do the tiny dramas of her own life matter in comparison to everything her father has seen and done? This moving exploration of heritage, inheritance, and self-discovery sets out to find the answer.

How to eat a peach: Menus, stories and places
by Diana HenryWhen Diana Henry was sixteen she started a menu notebook (an exercise book carefully covered in wrapping paper). Planning a menu is still her favorite part of cooking.Menus can create very different moods; they can take you places, from an afternoon at the seaside in Brittany to a sultry evening eating mezze in Istanbul. They also have to work as a meal that flows and as a group of dishes that the cook can manage without becoming totally stressed. The 24 menus and 100 recipes in this book reflect places Diana loves, and dishes that are real favorites.The menus are introduced with personal essays in Diana's now well-known voice- about places or journeys or particular times and explain the choice of dishes. Each menu is a story in itself, but the recipes can also stand alone.The title of the book refers to how Italians end a meal in the summer, when it's too hot to cook. The host or hostess just puts a bowl of peaches on the table and offers glasses of chilled moscato (or even Marsala). Guests then slice their peach into the glass, before eating the slices and drinking the wine.That says something very important about eating - simplicity and generosity and sometimes not cooking are what it's about.

Huber the Tuber: A Story of Tuberculosis
by Harry A. WilmerHUBER THE TUBER is an imaginary tubercle bacillus whose adventures in Lungland are described and pictured in this book. Employing the use of numerous illustrations, the author has pictured as well as described a story of tuberculosis. Each of Huber’s adventures—including meeting his wife in a joint (a bar and nightclub)—tell some important details about tuberculosis. In addition to a narrative describing Huber’s escapades, his fight with the Home Guard Army and Corpuscle Nelson, his narrow escape from the Phagocyte Shark, there is a short scientific interpretation quite separate from the story. Huber the Tuber, Nasty von Sputum, and Rusty the Bloodyvitch are all finally rounded up by Corpuscle Lipsky and his mechanized Army. Huber’s idyllic but ill-fated romance with Bovy only proves the well-known and indisputable fact that Love is Blind.“This is a must book for everyone”—Science News Letter“Dr. Wilmer has made a story of ‘Huber the Tuber’ both educational and hilarious. I not only enjoyed it very much, but learned a good deal from it. I certainly would recommend it for light reading and serious education.”—John Kieran“Ingeniously the author has made the acquisition of basic information about tuberculosis painless and exciting. It is in the best tradition of modern health education.”—Morris Fishbein, M.D., Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association“The humorous adventures of ‘Huber the Tuber’ will fascinate lay and medical readers. Wilmer’s clever drawings make the pathology of tuberculosis a joy to investigate and impossible to forget.”—Leroy U. Gardner, M.D., Director, The Saranac Laboratory, Saranac Lake, New York
